asterisk users - Aug 2019 - h265 codec pass through on asterisk

All,

I'm using asterisk 16.4.0 with h264 and opus quite well using linphone 4.1
client on android and baresip on linux.

I'm exploring use of h265 for improved video quality/lower network
bandwidth. I do not see pass through support on asterisk for h265/hvec. All
my SIP clients and underlying hardware have hvec/h265 encoding and decoding
available.

I would have liked vp9 however, vp9 encoding in hardware is not widespread.

Is there any reason for not enabling support for h265 pass through?

Thanks!

The only real reason is that noone has added support for it. Asterisk has to be
made aware of it in a few places in order to allow it. I did it for VP9[1] so
that could be used as a base.

Well, that sounds pretty straight forward.

I can do this and push it to gerrit.

Do I need to create a ticket for this?
